About the song, DON'T YUK MY YUM:DYMY is for anyone who ever felt outside: All races, body types, sexual orientations. For anyone who - at school or at work, with family, friends or strangers who has been told you don’t count, or who you are or what you like isn’t good enough. So, how do you combat bullying, hate and peer pressure? WITH A CELEBRATION OF SELF! With joy and fun! We want DYMY to encourage people to stand up for themselves and say to the world “This is me! This is who I am! This is what I think! This is what I like! And don’t tell me that I should be anything or anyone but myself. DON’T YUK MY YUM!!” We want everyone to be able to simply say “DYMY.” And snap!

This the first song I’ve ever written that I didn’t record myself. It began when my son, Cooper, came home from school, and I negatively commented on something he said that he liked. “Don’t Yuk My Yum, Dad.” I heard him loud and clear. So I wrote a song! And then writer/producer Kyle Puccia came on board to co-create it with me. I got Suzie Rose to do her fierce vocal! Then newcomer, Jason Rose, replied to a Craigslist add for a rapper and wrote and recorded his part!

Then director, Andy Putschoegl, and I decided to make a music video. Rather than go typical, we decided to make it more universal with all types. REAL PEOPLE! We had an open call in LA and the turnout was amazing!

It was a long day of shooting and we ended up with 3 ½ hours of footage for a 3 minute song. After endless editing we got all we’d hoped for. SIXTY PEOPLE PUTTING IT OUT THERE – every single one believing in DYMY as a personal declaration. We hope it speaks to you. -- Sam Harris
